@Magnakai Haaskivi: This comes as no surprise to someone who, in March 2006, watched Rondo defer to and get outshined by Patrick Sparks in a tournament game against UConn.

So when is Ferrari taking design cues from the Toyota Solara?

@Strega07: @chrystlubitshi: I would stick with Cake but a different song.

@MazdaEric: Looks to be a Dodgers vs Reds game. Dodgers won 9-6 in 10 innings.

"I said turn LEFT at the Dunkin Donuts."

Any Variomatic DAF. I would be arrested after endlessy driving backwards around the Arc de Triomphe at high speed in and effort to test the noble little car's ass forward traction limits.

@warpig: This post warms my francophile heart and pushes me slightly closer to selling my Mazda and buying a 2CV (although I would take a Traction Avant if I could find one).

Last year they invited Lemmy. He caused the grass to turn black and wither; he was not invited back.

Now if only we could get the Anti-Protest Protesters* at the Preakness for a Protest Triangle causing a rip in the space-time continuum swallowing all these groups into an inescable abyss I could finally hear the voices in my head again.

@warpig: I saw several on a recent vacation to Europe and used that as the basis for my comment. And sorry to break it to you, but your wrong about its overall looks. Its a thoroughly modern design that is neither retro (Mini) nor kitsch (EVOs and STIs).

I maintain my answer from the DOTS post.

@Feds: You must include the Alfa Romeo Brera. I saw several on a recent vacation to Europe and had the same violently visceral reaction to every one. If catching that car out the corner of your eye doesn't make your heart beat faster, you might be dead.

@HazelMaesLandingStrip: They said it was impossible, but that just goes to show what you can do when you dare to dream.

@UkraineNotWeak: Are you implying that Suzyn might account for a notch on Roger's bedpost?

@brandegee: I should have mentioned that I usually brew exotic Belgian stuff (see avatar) that uses more malt and hops than most beers.

@AshOfTheTitans: Beer, especially good beer, costs quite a bit more than gas. Even my homebrew costs $50 in ingridients for 5 gallon batch which equates to about $1/bottle.

$3.65 for 87 octane at a Mobil in Cambridge, MA. And that is usually the cheapest in the area.

@formerly Chief Wahoo: I don't see it happening. I figure MM to be a brunette and if shes not blond she might as well be Mike Piazza.

Is that a painting of his mug shot on the wall?

@petersterncan: That dashboard is cool, but I was already won over by the concave rear window.
